Each person has their own tastes I guess. It is quite dissapointing that the game comes in 2007. Hopefully no later than Summer of next year. Oh and if you want to talk about boring games, I recommend FF7 or Zelda (let the flak insue, but I'm serious when I say I don't like either).

I'm the wierd type myself. Whenever I find a great game it usually ruins my apetite for all other in the genre or subfield for the most part. I have yet to play a shooter that is as fun as Halo. I'm not big into the games like Rainbow 6 or even Call of duty for that matter. I like Halo because of the fact that you aren't killed in 1-2 shots, but the game can own you very fast. I did play Goldeneye a lot on N64 at a friends house on versus which was fun.

I'm looking forward to it a lot but then again i got tired of Halo 2 after a month. I dig the single player in Halo but as for online, i'm more of a tactical Recon or Rainbow 6 player. I'm expecting big things in terms of graphics though....let's hope for no clipping:P

I think the biggest reason for the problems in Halo 2, according to Bungie are a result of them not really working on the game until the last year and a half more or less before it was released. Apparently they spent to much time in the design stage. The clipping was horrible. Honestly they should have delayed it a little longer to get rid of that. I didn't play Halo 2 nearly the same amount I played Halo. I probably put about 100-200 hours into Halo 2. As for Halo, I probably put in a good 1500 hours into it. I too expect big things out of Halo 3. According to Gamespot when they interviewed Bungie, the graphics in their little teaser video was rendered in game visuals.

I had a funny little man say that Halo 3 will be great since it's got Master Chief blowing shit up. Yes, I thought. And thats probably all it will have.He wears the same armor.He carries the same weapons.He's fighting the same Covenant.Of course, these points are inferred from the trailer, but I have a good feeling that I'll be right. I agree, that the series is overrated. hell, I think the genre of FPS is pretty much constant redundancy. It'll be nice for what it is, and it will sell a lot of units, but I don't think it'll convince any new customers to go to the 360- thats what people bought the 360 for.And Microsoft gets to stare off into the abyss after Halo 3 comes out.

I think it will undoubtely sell a lot of 360s for Microsoft. I don't own a 360 as of now, but I'm surely getting one by the time this game is out. Not just for Halo, either; there are a bunch of great looking titles that have yet to be released (Gears of War, Fable 2, Bioshock, etc.).

Honestly, for me, Oblivion, PSU, and Halo 3 justify my purchase of the 360. I'm not big on shooters that aren't first person. I don't know why. Hell I don't even care for Call of Duty 2 or FPS' like that. As for whether this will be the last Halo game, I have no idea and at this point I could care less. I just hope they do a better job on Halo 3 than Halo 2. The only complaint I had with Halo 2 which I probably mentioned before and has been mentioned, is the constant clipping and late loading of textures. It was just frequently horrible, and is unexcusable. I didn't have a problem with the ending myself. I think it'd be awesome if they bring back the pistol with the scope, that weapon was great. I loved the battle rifle in the second game though.

On a side note, I'm sure GTA will help them in the sales department a bit.
